Hey...I don't mean to criticize but are you sure it's a good idea to try your 1st 12/12 from seed with an Auto? I'm concerned that you will have unexpected and likely poor results as Auto's are not meant for 12/12. Just a kind suggestion that perhaps you should reconsider and go with a non-auto instead.

Yea I will concur with the 12/12 being a bad idea for an auto, I run 20/4 with autos , anything less and you wont get good results

Too add a little bit from my experience auto's in 12/12 won't yield for crap. Like a quarter if you're lucky. I ran a bunch of auto's when I started they weren't doing much and I wasn't impressed so I switched to 12/12 for the photo's I had in the same space. The auto's just basically stopped. They still flowered but extremely little and slow.

I agree that you should try and find a photo to run. I've never hit under an OZ. per plant running 12/12 from seed and I've never got over a 1/4 with auto's in 12/12 after a 3 week 24hour light cycle. So even with a proper "Auto-veg" they still yielded less then the others. I may be able to find some pics in my old thread I'll look around for a sec.

I'm almost positive the one on the left is either Pyramids Auto NYC or it's Blue Mystic auto from Nirvana.Either way you can see it sitting beside a photo ak.
 
Hiya Guys, thanks for input! I've just gotta do it though, just for seeing for my self and to Rec/Log Results.. I will probably do it with 3 different Autos over a period of time

For the 1st proper 12/12 I will be running Photos(Female Seeds Lemon Kush x 9) 3 x 3 in 3L Pots under a brand new 400w Dual Spectrum bulb(going to give Main 12/12 Grow all I can) Just waiting on Autos that are Cooking to finish..

Chapter 3 Update
Day 56
Flowering Day 23

Things are going great. Only the Chronic Thunders are significantly under performing but since they were the last to go in, it's to be expected. Not sure what to make of the C99's. They are either going to be great or terrible. Very weird strain.

Those c99 look like stringy sativa s lol but a clean room is a happy room and your room is very happy. You have come a long way in your endeavors my friend , Any plans to change the system any in the future or are you pretty content with the current set up?

Thanks man. With this being only my 3rd grow, 1st ever hydro, and first ever crazy container (the PVC tubes), I am thrilled with how things are going.

Regarding plans...lol. Yes, I've been going super nerd for the last few weeks. Measuring, drawing up plans, taking notes, etc. I'm pretty OCD so this is about all I think about these days.
The next round will be of the same concept but with a new design and it will be a full octagon. Start date for the seeds will be the 1st week of September and these are expected to finish on or around September 13th. The plan is to chop, trim, take a saws-all to this partial octagon and get the new one assembled all within a 2 day window and plop the new plants right in...already properly rooted.
 
Hey HDS-----accidently found your update----wonder why I didn't an alert?

Have you under estimated the explosive growth with a well designed system?

Wow---jungle in there ALREADY. I've grown c99 and it yielded nicely----great citrus flavor smoke.

Be careful with RH----had a couple of big colas get mold---yuk!

A~~~
 
Hmm...I got no notifications of all of these replies either.
@Mohican - Filters on the pumps look perfectly clean.

@Alaric - 4 of the 5 strains going right now I have never done so I tried to size this 5 sided octagon based on nothing more than assumptions I made. The Sour Blueberry and Blueberry Headband are exhibiting the growth traits I'm looking for. Will just have to wait and see how they finish and smoke. I'm taking all of this knowledge and will use it when I finalize the next octagon. Regarding RH...I brought on a dedicated dehumidifier just for this room. I already have another running in my basement 24/7. This one in the room is currently on a timer to run 15 minutes each hour. It's keeping the room at a pretty consistent 48%. I'll increase the amount of time it runs as needed. Regarding the next design and accessing the plants...great question and I've been battling with this. It is possible I'll have to crawl under to access them.
